Conversation also talks about the concept of “selling out” as the single most 90s aspect of the 90s.
(reference Chuck Klosterman’s novel “The Nineties”)
George Clooney’s “Dr. Doug Ross” was the epitome of a character who would NEVER sell out. In the 90s you DID NOT sell out.
Selling Out meant that you were compromising the values you originally espoused for something superficial.
